Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical training with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to handle problems extending from typical problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet typically experience.
