Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle complications varying from conventional conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet usually experience.
