Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical training with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat problems varying from standard problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet usually experience.
