Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to manage problems varying from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
