Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable medical education with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with complications stretching from normal conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet commonly experience.
