Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care training with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from normal ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
