Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with problems extending from normal ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill crucial to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet normally experience.
