Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical education with a focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to care for issues varying from familiar ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
