Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained significant medical education with a focus on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat difficulties varying from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
