Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough healthcare education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from regular afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the experience essential to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
