Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with problems ranging from typical problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
