Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a focus on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage difficulties ranging from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
