Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging healthcare education with a stress on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with conditions varying from simple problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience vital to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet commonly experience.
