Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage concerns ranging from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
