Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive health care training with a concentration on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address conditions ranging from normal conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
