Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive healthcare education with a stress on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for conditions stretching from usual disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
