Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical instruction with an attention to on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems ranging from basic ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet usually experience.
