Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging health care education with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems varying from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet typically experience.
