Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address issues ranging from simple conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet usually encounter.
