Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with problems ranging from normal afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which supply them the practical experience required to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet routinely encounter.
