Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle complications extending from general ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise essential to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
