Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive health care training with a main focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems stretching from normal conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
