Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle difficulties ranging from commonplace disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
