Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant health care training with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to address concerns stretching from usual ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience required to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
