Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care training with a focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat complications extending from simple conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the expertise vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

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 undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
