Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage difficulties ranging from common conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet typically experience.
