Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial medical training with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with complications ranging from basic disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet normally experience.
