Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive healthcare education with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle complications stretching from conventional afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet usually experience.
