Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough health care instruction with an attention to on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to address complications ranging from general ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet regularly encounter.
