Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to care for problems ranging from general ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
