Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical training with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with problems stretching from normal problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet frequently experience.
