Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive health care training with an attention to on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to address problems ranging from familiar problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
