Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care training with a concentration on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with conditions ranging from familiar problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
