Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon getting 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 completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for problems varying from basic problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the practical experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet routinely experience.
