Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable healthcare training with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with difficulties ranging from simple problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute 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 perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
