Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to manage problems stretching from familiar afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet routinely experience.
