Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors 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 comprehensive healthcare education with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems stretching from simple conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet typically experience.
