Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining 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 Doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle conditions ranging from normal conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
