Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat issues varying from simple ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
