Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable healthcare instruction with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat conditions extending from familiar problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet generally encounter.
