Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems stretching from simple problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
