Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address concerns ranging from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
