Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle concerns extending from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet normally experience.
