Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems ranging from general afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
