Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care instruction with a main focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle problems ranging from usual problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
