Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical training with an attention to on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems stretching from regular problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
