Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage conditions stretching from simple problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet normally experience.
