Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical education with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to care for problems stretching from normal conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which provide them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet typically experience.
