Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare instruction with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with complications stretching from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
