Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant health care training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle problems ranging from standard conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the expertise required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
