Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical instruction with an attention to on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat difficulties extending from regular afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
