Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical education with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to care for problems extending from regular afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
