Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical education with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat conditions extending from common problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet routinely experience.
