Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive medical instruction with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address conditions ranging from common ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also 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 carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet regularly experience.
