Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive healthcare instruction with an attention to on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address issues extending from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet typically experience.
