Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and various podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive health care education with an attention to on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for problems ranging from familiar problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the skill required to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet usually experience.
