Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care training with a concentration on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for concerns varying from standard conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
