Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems varying from simple afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the prior experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet routinely experience.
