Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial health care training with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address issues varying from familiar afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet usually experience.
