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. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough healthcare training with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to address difficulties varying from familiar afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
