Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a main focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage problems extending from general problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
