Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable health care education with a main focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for complications ranging from usual afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
