Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare training with an importance on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to handle problems stretching from typical conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet generally experience.
