Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical instruction with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with complications varying from simple afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
