Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical training with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with problems ranging from conventional ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
