Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical instruction with a focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for conditions extending from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which give them the skill needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
