Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained substantial healthcare training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address concerns varying from simple disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the expertise crucial to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet frequently experience.
