Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and a number of podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough healthcare training with a concentration on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to address problems stretching from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience required to conduct surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
