Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing health care education with a concentration on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat complications ranging from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the expertise required to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
