Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive health care training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle issues ranging from basic disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
