Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage difficulties varying from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
