Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with an importance on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from usual conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet generally encounter.
