Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable health care training with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address problems ranging from basic problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive 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 perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
