Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare instruction with a stress on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with difficulties ranging from usual conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
