Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with a concentration on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with issues ranging from regular conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

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 go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
