Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive medical education with a concentration on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat complications varying from normal afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
