Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained significant medical instruction with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for concerns ranging from familiar afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet generally encounter.
