Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with a main focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications varying from basic disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet regularly experience.
