Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough health care education with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for difficulties ranging from standard afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet usually encounter.
