Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat difficulties extending from standard problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough 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 problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
