Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians 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 Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical training with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle problems ranging from usual disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet routinely experience.
