Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat conditions ranging from basic problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
