Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with a stress on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to handle difficulties varying from normal problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications 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 legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet usually experience.
