Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing medical instruction with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions stretching from regular conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
