Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend about a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care instruction with a main focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for difficulties ranging from typical afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet generally experience.
