Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough medical education with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address problems extending from conventional conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet routinely experience.
