Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address problems extending from general problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet generally encounter.
