Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to deal with conditions ranging from common problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
