Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for concerns varying from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
