Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle conditions ranging from typical conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience required to carry out surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet frequently experience.
