Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After 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 completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to manage issues ranging from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet usually encounter.
