Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical training with a concentration on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage concerns extending from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet usually experience.
