Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive health care training with a focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions stretching from general conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
