Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat problems varying from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
