Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant health care training with a focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage conditions ranging from regular problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
