Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for conditions ranging from typical afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the skill required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet commonly experience.
