Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant health care training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address problems ranging from conventional ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally encounter.
