Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical instruction with a concentration on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle problems varying from regular conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
