Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable health care education with an importance on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to address concerns extending from usual problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet frequently experience.
