Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical education with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to manage difficulties ranging from familiar problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
