Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat conditions stretching from normal ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the expertise required to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet generally experience.
