Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive healthcare training with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to address complications varying from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied 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 feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet normally encounter.
