Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial health care instruction with an importance on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for problems varying from typical problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
