Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Calgary Downtown Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary Downtown focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address problems extending from usual afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied 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 feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet regularly experience.
