Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with an attention to on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address concerns varying from basic conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
