Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical training with a focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage conditions extending from conventional afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the skill needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet regularly encounter.
