Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical education with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for complications ranging from commonplace ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
