Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical education with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with problems extending from familiar disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet generally experience.
