Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and various podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive healthcare education with a stress on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle problems ranging from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet generally experience.
