Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing health care instruction with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to address difficulties ranging from regular disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the expertise needed to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet typically experience.
