Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle issues ranging from general ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet generally experience.
