Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive health care training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage difficulties varying from basic afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
