Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage difficulties stretching from general ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet regularly experience.
