Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough healthcare instruction with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat concerns varying from standard conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
