Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from familiar afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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 carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet routinely experience.
