Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough healthcare training with an importance on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage problems stretching from conventional afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
