Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care education with a concentration on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with difficulties ranging from usual afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
