Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical education with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems varying from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet normally experience.
