Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical instruction with an attention to on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for problems extending from general problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet generally encounter.
