Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing medical instruction with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat problems ranging from common afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
