Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage complications ranging from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet typically experience.
