Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant healthcare training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with complications varying from regular afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
