Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained significant medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems stretching from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet commonly experience.
