Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant healthcare education with an importance on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for conditions extending from common afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet usually experience.
