Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained thorough health care training with a main focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address complications ranging from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet usually experience.
