Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant health care instruction with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for issues ranging from general problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet usually encounter.
