Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial health care instruction with a concentration on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from typical afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet frequently encounter.
