Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable healthcare instruction with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat issues stretching from general afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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 deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
