Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years 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 is similar to general medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial health care education with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage concerns ranging from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience required to execute surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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 problems empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet generally experience.
