Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage complications extending from common disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet regularly experience.
