Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage concerns extending from simple disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
