Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing healthcare education with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with issues ranging from common conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore 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 perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet normally experience.
