Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical training with an attention to on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for conditions ranging from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
