Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to address difficulties varying from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet usually experience.
