Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat concerns varying from usual ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet generally experience.
