Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable health care training with an attention to on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage conditions extending from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet usually encounter.
