Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with a stress on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to deal with concerns stretching from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience required to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
