Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging health care instruction with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to address conditions varying from regular disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet frequently experience.
