Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors 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 Doctors have received extensive medical training with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle issues extending from standard ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
