Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable medical training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for concerns stretching from simple problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet normally experience.
