Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing health care education with an attention to on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage conditions stretching from conventional problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
