Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare education with a concentration on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with problems extending from normal afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet commonly experience.
