Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical training with a stress on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for issues ranging from general afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet generally experience.
