Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for complications ranging from usual conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
