Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical training with a focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from usual disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet regularly experience.
