Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle conditions stretching from general conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet regularly experience.
