Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for problems ranging from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet usually encounter.
