Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
