Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial health care education with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with issues stretching from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the skill needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet routinely encounter.
