Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care training with a focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle problems ranging from conventional afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
