Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care training with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with problems extending from usual disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet commonly encounter.
