Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical training with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage conditions varying from common ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet regularly experience.
