Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical education with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle problems ranging from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
