Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat conditions stretching from familiar problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet typically encounter.
