Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing medical education with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with problems extending from conventional ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
