Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough health care training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for problems extending from basic conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet routinely experience.
