Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat complications varying from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
