Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical training with a stress on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with problems ranging from standard problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet commonly encounter.
