Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with a stress on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat conditions stretching from regular afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet typically experience.
