Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with an attention to on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to address conditions ranging from conventional disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the skill essential to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
