Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive medical education with an attention to on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to care for concerns stretching from commonplace afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
