Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle issues ranging from common conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
