Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical instruction with an importance on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from usual problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet commonly experience.
