Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address conditions ranging from usual ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
