Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care training with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with difficulties ranging from normal problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
