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 ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with a main focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address difficulties ranging from simple ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet normally experience.
