Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After getting 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 conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical training with a concentration on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage problems ranging from usual afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
