Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant healthcare training with a focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat conditions ranging from basic afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
