Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain 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 training programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care training with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems varying from basic ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
