Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial health care training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat difficulties varying from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience required to execute surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
