Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care instruction with an importance on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for problems ranging from usual problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
