Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical instruction with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for issues varying from simple problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
