Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical training with a stress on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle problems stretching from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
