Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough medical education with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat complications ranging from general ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the prior experience required to execute surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
