Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial healthcare training with a stress on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address problems ranging from conventional conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet typically experience.
