Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical instruction with a concentration on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for issues stretching from commonplace problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the prior experience required to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet typically experience.
