Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical education with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle problems varying from standard disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet typically encounter.
