Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address concerns extending from conventional disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet commonly experience.
