Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare education with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle problems stretching from common problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
