Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for concerns ranging from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the experience essential to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous troubles which the feet routinely experience.
