Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical training with a stress on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from general ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet typically encounter.
