Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with a stress on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems varying from normal conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
