Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing health care education with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat difficulties varying from usual afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet commonly experience.
