Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to address difficulties stretching from common disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
