Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with a main focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat concerns ranging from typical ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
