Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care training with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for difficulties extending from common disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
