Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare education with an attention to on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with issues ranging from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet generally experience.
