Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with issues extending from commonplace conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
