Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with a concentration on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle problems stretching from conventional conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the experience required to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
