Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant healthcare training with a main focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address problems ranging from conventional disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet generally experience.
