Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable healthcare education with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to treat difficulties varying from normal disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which provide them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet routinely experience.
