Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive health care training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle conditions ranging from familiar ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
