Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical education with an importance on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat issues ranging from basic conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
