Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with a stress on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat concerns extending from usual disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet regularly experience.
