Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant health care instruction with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle concerns ranging from normal disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
