Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable health care instruction with an attention to on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage conditions varying from familiar conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet typically experience.
