Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive health care training with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address problems stretching from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet routinely experience.
