Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical instruction with an attention to on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for concerns ranging from simple problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
