Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with an attention to on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems extending from usual problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
