Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat difficulties stretching from normal conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
