Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care instruction with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
