Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical education with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage complications ranging from basic ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
