Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in learning, 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 is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with an attention to on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems ranging from general ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
