Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and a number of podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired encompassing healthcare education with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat problems ranging from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet generally experience.
