Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough health care training with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to manage concerns stretching from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
