Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a stress on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to handle complications ranging from familiar afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
