Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems varying from regular conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
