Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical training with a focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat complications extending from basic disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet regularly experience.
