Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat issues extending from conventional conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
