Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems varying from normal conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the expertise crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
