Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage problems ranging from usual ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill needed to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
