Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage issues extending from standard afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the skill vital to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally 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 perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
