Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical education with a focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with concerns ranging from general ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience needed to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet usually encounter.
