Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage issues varying from standard disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
