Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical education with a concentration on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties stretching from simple disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet usually encounter.
