Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical instruction with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to manage difficulties ranging from general problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
