Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical instruction with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle difficulties ranging from regular problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
