Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable health care training with an attention to on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat problems stretching from basic problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet regularly experience.
