Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained thorough healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from usual afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
