Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial health care training with a main focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address difficulties ranging from usual ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet usually encounter.
