Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough health care training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat issues ranging from usual problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet routinely experience.
