Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical training with a concentration on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address difficulties extending from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
