Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians 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 considerable healthcare education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle issues varying from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.

Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet commonly experience.
