Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually various podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to manage conditions ranging from typical problems such as fungal and ingrown 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 instruction which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet typically encounter.
