Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat problems ranging from standard problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the prior experience required to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
