Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant healthcare training with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for conditions ranging from common problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
