Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care instruction with a main focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with problems ranging from basic conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute 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 perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet usually encounter.
