Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care training with a concentration on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat conditions ranging from basic disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
