Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and many podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing medical training with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat conditions extending from usual conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet usually experience.
