Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to address problems ranging from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet generally experience.
