Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care education with an importance on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to address problems ranging from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
