Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for complications varying from usual disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience vital to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
