Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with issues extending from basic disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the practical experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
