Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare education with a concentration on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle problems varying from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the skill required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet usually experience.
