Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive medical instruction with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with concerns stretching from standard disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
