Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with a main focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address problems stretching from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally experience.
