Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to handle concerns extending from usual ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best handled 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 withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
