Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage difficulties ranging from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
