Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable health care instruction with a concentration on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with complications varying from regular problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet frequently encounter.
