Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial health care instruction with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage problems extending from familiar problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
