Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained substantial medical instruction with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat concerns varying from typical ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet usually encounter.
