Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough healthcare training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage conditions ranging from regular disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
