Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat complications varying from normal problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
