Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical training with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat complications varying from standard disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
