Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive health care instruction with a focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for issues ranging from regular afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the expertise needed to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet frequently experience.
