Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical training with a stress on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat concerns ranging from standard problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
