Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable healthcare education with a concentration on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat complications stretching from typical problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet generally encounter.
