Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical instruction with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle issues ranging from conventional conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet generally encounter.
