Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging health care training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems varying from conventional ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
