Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage complications ranging from general conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet usually experience.
