Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care training with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with problems varying from usual afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
