Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable medical training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for conditions varying from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
