Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial healthcare training with a stress on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage problems varying from usual afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
