Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive medical education with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat complications extending from usual disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet usually experience.
