Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for difficulties ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
