Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for concerns ranging from general problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
