Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical instruction with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage conditions ranging from common problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet normally experience.
