Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle difficulties ranging from typical afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
