Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare education with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for conditions varying from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the skill required to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also 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 perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
