Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical training with a concentration on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address difficulties stretching from normal afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
