Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After achieving 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 conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical instruction with a focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat problems ranging from basic conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill required to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet commonly experience.
