Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately 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 obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable medical training with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with complications ranging from common afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise essential to carry out surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet usually encounter.
