Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care education with a focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to care for complications ranging from commonplace ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet typically experience.
