Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical training with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues ranging from regular afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
