Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical training with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems varying from general disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
