Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from simple conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
