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 ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive medical education with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat concerns ranging from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
