Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get 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 fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat issues extending from conventional disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet routinely experience.
