Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical training with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to address difficulties extending from familiar afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute 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 carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet usually encounter.
