Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough health care instruction with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to deal with problems extending from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet frequently experience.
