Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle problems ranging from usual ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience vital to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
