Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems varying from common ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet usually experience.
