Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care training with a focus on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to manage conditions ranging from common ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill crucial to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
