Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat issues ranging from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet normally experience.
