Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to address conditions extending from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet typically experience.
