Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle problems ranging from simple ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
