Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain 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 fact several podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems stretching from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the expertise required to perform surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet generally encounter.
