Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat conditions stretching from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet normally encounter.
