Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive healthcare education with an attention to on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat concerns stretching from regular disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet typically encounter.
