Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care training with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with issues stretching from regular afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet routinely encounter.
