Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems varying from general ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet normally experience.
