Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough healthcare training with a focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to address conditions extending from general disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the skill crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet typically encounter.
