Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough health care instruction with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to address conditions stretching from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
