Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a main focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat complications varying from familiar afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
