Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the prior experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
