Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical training with an importance on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to care for problems ranging from commonplace ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally experience.
