Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat issues stretching from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
