Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with problems stretching from basic problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
