Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to address conditions ranging from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
