Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough healthcare training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address conditions ranging from typical ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet usually encounter.
