Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough health care education with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to deal with concerns ranging from common conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
