Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for issues stretching from simple conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
