Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions stretching from typical disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
