Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical education with a concentration on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage concerns ranging from typical conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet usually encounter.
