Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained substantial health care training with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage complications stretching from commonplace disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
