Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant healthcare training with a stress on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with concerns ranging from general disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
