Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare instruction with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to handle problems ranging from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
