Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat concerns ranging from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
