Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat problems ranging from standard afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
