Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for complications stretching from normal afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
