Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing medical training with a concentration on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle issues stretching from regular conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet regularly experience.
