Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough healthcare instruction with a focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from basic ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet frequently experience.
