Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical education with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat concerns varying from typical problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
