Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat problems ranging from common ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet usually experience.
