Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for concerns stretching from conventional disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet typically encounter.
