Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 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 resembles general medical school and various podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging health care instruction with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with concerns varying from commonplace afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
