Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive healthcare training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat issues varying from common problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which give them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet frequently experience.
