Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications varying from typical problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
