Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat difficulties ranging from typical afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet regularly experience.
