Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing health care instruction with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address difficulties ranging from regular afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
