Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical instruction with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage problems varying from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive 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 doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet typically encounter.
