Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address concerns extending from familiar ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
