Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing health care training with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for issues ranging from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
