Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical training with an attention to on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage complications stretching from commonplace disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet routinely experience.
