Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for issues varying from commonplace ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
