Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive health care education with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to address difficulties varying from standard ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet regularly encounter.
