Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical training with a focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with concerns varying from conventional problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
