Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained thorough healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with problems varying from commonplace ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which provide them the prior experience needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet commonly experience.
