Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with a stress on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage concerns varying from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
