Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle problems stretching from basic ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

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 undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet normally encounter.
