Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical education with a concentration on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat difficulties ranging from conventional disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience needed to execute surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet normally experience.
