Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical training with an attention to on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage complications ranging from simple disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
