Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained significant healthcare training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat problems ranging from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet typically experience.
