Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive health care education with a concentration on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to address concerns ranging from commonplace problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet routinely experience.
