Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with a focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to address complications stretching from general disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
