Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial medical education with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to handle difficulties varying from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
