Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical instruction with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to address conditions extending from basic problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
