Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained significant healthcare education with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to address issues extending from basic conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
