Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable medical training with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to address concerns ranging from basic conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
