Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical training with a stress on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to handle complications stretching from normal disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally 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 perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet generally experience.
