Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage concerns varying from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet typically experience.
