Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical training with a concentration on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage conditions ranging from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
