Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical training with a concentration on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for problems varying from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
