Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote 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 receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with an attention to on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute 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 carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
