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 devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive health care instruction with an importance on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat conditions ranging from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
