Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical education with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat problems ranging from regular problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet routinely experience.
