Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical training with an importance on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with conditions stretching from commonplace disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet frequently experience.
