Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address problems extending from regular conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
