Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive healthcare education with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems extending from common afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet routinely experience.
