Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage problems ranging from standard problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems 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 legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
