Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with an importance on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for concerns ranging from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
