Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with conditions stretching from simple ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
