Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat issues ranging from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the expertise essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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 tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet commonly experience.
