Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant healthcare instruction with an importance on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat concerns ranging from regular ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the skill essential to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise 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.
