Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address conditions varying from familiar afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet typically encounter.
