Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical education with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to care for concerns varying from basic problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
