Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for concerns varying from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet routinely experience.
