Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle concerns varying from regular afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore 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 perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet commonly experience.
