Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical education with a main focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat complications varying from conventional disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
