Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 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 get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical training with an importance on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems varying from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
