Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare training with an attention to on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat concerns stretching from familiar afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet commonly encounter.
