Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial medical education with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle issues ranging from conventional disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet generally encounter.
