Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough health care education with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for issues ranging from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
