Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with a main focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with concerns varying from typical problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the expertise required to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet regularly experience.
