Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough healthcare training with a focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage issues extending from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet commonly experience.
