Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare training with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with issues varying from regular ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet usually experience.
