Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in learning, 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 general medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial health care education with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat complications ranging from simple afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
