Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address problems stretching from typical ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
