Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical training with an attention to on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat difficulties stretching from typical afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

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 submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically encounter.
