Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial medical training with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage complications ranging from simple disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the skill required to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
