Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and many podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address problems ranging from regular problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
