Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical training with a concentration on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to handle concerns extending from usual ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
