Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received substantial medical education with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to address concerns varying from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
