Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive health care training with a main focus on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for concerns ranging from standard conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
