Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive health care training with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat problems varying from simple afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
