Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care training with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat difficulties varying from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
