Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial medical education with a focus on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat concerns varying from regular ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet normally experience.
