Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial health care training with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from familiar ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
