Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical education with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for issues ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
