Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage difficulties stretching from general afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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 carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet commonly experience.
