Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle issues stretching from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet routinely experience.
