Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive health care education with an attention to on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to handle conditions stretching from standard problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
