Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging medical education with an attention to on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to care for concerns extending from usual conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet normally experience.
