Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained significant medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to handle complications ranging from simple afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
