Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable healthcare instruction with a focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems extending from conventional conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the experience needed to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
