Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for complications ranging from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
