Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough health care training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage complications varying from simple afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet usually encounter.
