Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive health care instruction with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to manage concerns extending from basic ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet typically encounter.
