Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare instruction with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
