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. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage concerns ranging from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
