Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive health care education with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with issues extending from normal problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
