Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from conventional problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
