Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough health care training with an importance on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat conditions stretching from typical ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet commonly encounter.
