Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for conditions ranging from basic conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet commonly experience.
