Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for problems stretching from basic afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
