Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to address problems ranging from basic ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the expertise essential to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled 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 withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
