Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant medical training with a stress on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address problems ranging from common disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet normally experience.
