Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with issues stretching from commonplace disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience vital to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
