Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with a focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to manage problems ranging from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet normally experience.
