Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to care for complications ranging from normal afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
