Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems stretching from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
