Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging medical training with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat problems varying from usual afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
