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. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant healthcare education with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for issues stretching from normal ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet frequently experience.
