Meet Dr. DeBrule

Welcome to Innovative Foot Care!

Thank you for choosing Dr. Michael DeBrule for your innovative foot and ankle care needs. Patients travel to Marshall, MN, to seek out Dr. DeBrule from as far as Minneapolis, St. Paul, and South Dakota for his expertise in gait analysis, foot surgery, ultrasound guided procedures, foot orthotics, and biomechanics. Dr. DeBrule’s use of innovative computerized and video-enhanced gait analysis testing (Pedi-Gait, F-scan) distinguishes him from other podiatrists. He uses gait analysis for diagnosis and prescribing custom foot orthotics for foot pain, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, ankle pain, knee pain, hip pain, and even low back pain.

Isn’t it time for you to start walking better and living better?

Many patients have benefited from Dr. DeBrule's state of the art medical services…

I had been doing back exercises for about 20 years. After Dr. DeBrule discovered that I have one leg [just slightly] shorter than the other, he prescribed orthotics for my shoes. Now the back exercises are virtually unnecessary, and I have relief from back, shoulder, and hip pain. -Errol S.
