Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial health care training with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat problems ranging from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill vital to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
