Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant medical training with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat concerns ranging from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill required to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet regularly experience.
