Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial health care instruction with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address issues stretching from typical afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
