Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care education with a main focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat difficulties extending from usual ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
