Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical education with a concentration on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle problems ranging from typical ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet commonly experience.
