Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals 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 higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems varying from normal problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet regularly experience.
