Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage issues ranging from usual afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the expertise needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet typically encounter.
