Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received substantial health care training with a concentration on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat complications ranging from commonplace problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the skill crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
