Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle difficulties ranging from familiar problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
