Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining 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 finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing health care instruction with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage problems extending from common afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
