Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical training with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to manage problems stretching from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
