Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive health care training with a main focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for difficulties stretching from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
