Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to deal with issues stretching from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet normally experience.
