Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare training with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage problems ranging from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet routinely encounter.
