Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate 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 typical medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough medical education with an attention to on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage conditions extending from usual ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
