Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to care for difficulties ranging from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise required to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet normally experience.
