Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant health care training with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle issues ranging from simple disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience required to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise 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 abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
