Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are located 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.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant healthcare instruction with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to handle issues stretching from typical disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
