Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive health care instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address concerns ranging from regular problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet normally experience.
