Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address problems ranging from usual disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet typically encounter.
