Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received significant healthcare instruction with a concentration on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with concerns stretching from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet normally encounter.
