Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat concerns stretching from commonplace afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet generally experience.
