Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat concerns stretching from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
