Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and actually various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical training with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle concerns ranging from standard conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill vital to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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 makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet usually experience.
