Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle difficulties ranging from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet generally experience.
