Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat issues ranging from common disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
