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 put in an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough health care instruction with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat difficulties ranging from basic afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
