Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical education with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to handle conditions extending from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the expertise crucial to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
