Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging health care training with a focus on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat difficulties stretching from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
