Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical instruction with an importance on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat conditions stretching from regular problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
