Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to manage complications extending from standard conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet commonly experience.
