Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired substantial health care training with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for conditions varying from commonplace afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet generally experience.
