Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care instruction with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address conditions extending from typical conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
