Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant medical training with a stress on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage difficulties varying from general disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet frequently experience.
