Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and various podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical instruction with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage conditions ranging from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet typically experience.
