Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care training with a focus on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat difficulties varying from general ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
