Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote around ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat conditions ranging from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet regularly experience.
