Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for problems ranging from common ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the expertise needed to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet usually experience.
