Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare training with a stress on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat difficulties extending from common afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
