Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After securing 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 fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with an importance on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with conditions varying from normal ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
