Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable medical training with a stress on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address complications varying from basic conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet commonly experience.
