Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive health care education with a concentration on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat conditions ranging from conventional ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet frequently experience.
