Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable healthcare education with an attention to on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with problems ranging from typical disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
