Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle difficulties ranging from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the expertise required to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet usually encounter.
