Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging health care training with a concentration on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions extending from commonplace ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed 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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet commonly experience.
