Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a concentration on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage difficulties extending from normal conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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 tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet normally experience.
