Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and a number of podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained significant healthcare training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat problems ranging from usual disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those problems 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 legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet usually encounter.
