Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care instruction with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle complications stretching from general disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet typically encounter.
