Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat complications stretching from common problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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 carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
