Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough medical education with an attention to on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address complications ranging from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
