Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually various podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems ranging from commonplace conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet normally encounter.
