Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial health care instruction with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for conditions extending from basic disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet regularly encounter.
