Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage difficulties extending from typical ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
