Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with a stress on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address complications ranging from typical problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough 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 deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
