Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical education with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to care for conditions ranging from typical ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
