Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage issues extending from basic afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
