Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical education with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat complications varying from standard conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to execute surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
