Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained significant medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage complications ranging from common disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet usually experience.
