Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address problems stretching from familiar afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet typically encounter.
