Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging healthcare education with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to address conditions ranging from common ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
