Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough medical instruction with an attention to on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to address problems varying from basic afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the practical experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet usually experience.
