Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing health care instruction with an attention to on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications varying from basic afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet usually experience.
