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 put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle concerns stretching from basic afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet regularly experience.
