Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend about a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care training with an importance on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat difficulties ranging from general afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet commonly encounter.
