Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a stress on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems ranging from simple afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill required to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
