Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with conditions ranging from common afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
