Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired substantial medical training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for problems varying from conventional ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet routinely experience.
