Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from normal disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience vital to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet frequently experience.
