Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical training with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat conditions ranging from common disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet generally encounter.
