Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with conditions extending from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet typically experience.
