Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial healthcare education with a focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems stretching from familiar problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
