Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle complications varying from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
