Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care training with a main focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems extending from commonplace disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise needed to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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 irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
