Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive health care instruction with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat complications ranging from basic conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the practical experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
