Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive health care training with an attention to on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage conditions extending from typical disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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 permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet generally encounter.
