Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care training with a main focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address complications extending from commonplace ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
