Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical education with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat complications varying from standard disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
