Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant health care education with a stress on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage problems ranging from basic problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
