Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four 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 programmes are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address complications varying from conventional afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet generally experience.
