Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive health care training with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties stretching from familiar disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly experience.
