Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained thorough medical education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with difficulties stretching from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet usually experience.
