Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing health care instruction with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage conditions extending from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
