Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough medical education with a focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions ranging from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet regularly experience.
