Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare education with a main focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to handle difficulties stretching from general problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet usually encounter.
