Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with complications varying from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill needed to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
