Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant healthcare education with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage difficulties ranging from common disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet normally experience.
