Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems ranging from usual afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
