Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable healthcare instruction with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle issues stretching from standard ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
