Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage problems ranging from normal afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
