Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing health care training with a concentration on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to address conditions varying from basic ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet normally experience.
