Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle problems varying from general disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet frequently encounter.
