Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive health care training with a stress on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address problems stretching from general disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the experience needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely experience.
