Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging medical training with a focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address conditions extending from conventional afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
