Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging health care training with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems extending from normal disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet typically encounter.
