Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial health care education with a concentration on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems stretching from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
