Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage conditions extending from familiar conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet commonly experience.
