Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive healthcare training with an importance on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address issues stretching from conventional disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet commonly experience.
