Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired encompassing health care training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with issues extending from general afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet generally encounter.
