Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive health care education with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle difficulties ranging from simple afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet routinely experience.
