Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired significant medical education with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for problems ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
