Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive health care instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with complications varying from familiar ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
