Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with a concentration on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to care for difficulties extending from usual conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
