Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat complications ranging from common ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
