Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical training with a focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for complications extending from regular conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
