Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with difficulties ranging from normal problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet normally experience.
