Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial medical education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to handle issues varying from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet routinely experience.
