Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with issues varying from commonplace ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
