Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing medical training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with concerns varying from conventional disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
