Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical training with a concentration on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat concerns extending from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
