Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive medical training with a stress on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with difficulties stretching from general conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
