Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial medical training with an attention to on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage conditions varying from simple conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
