Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive health care instruction with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with issues varying from familiar ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
