Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging health care education with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
