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. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care instruction with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat complications ranging from general afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill vital to execute surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet regularly experience.
