Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive medical education with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle problems varying from common conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the skill vital to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet typically encounter.
