Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and various podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a main focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet typically encounter.
