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 devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat problems varying from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
