Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough medical instruction with a focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat issues varying from typical ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet usually experience.
